Hi Bellas,

I'm going away on Winter Vacay!  I'll be in China - Beijing and Shanghai - for two weeks just for fun.  I'm excited to see the Great Wall, Forbidden City and eat tons!  Every year I try to go to a new country and I can't wait to experience China.  I plan on picking up tons of skincare/sheet masks and if you have any product recommendations or travel tips/places I should go, please let me know in the comments below!
I won't be blogging or YouTubing while i'm gone but follow me on Instagram because I'm going to be sharing pictures of my journey.

If you signed up for my Sedona Lace Travel Vortex Giveaway i'll announce the winners when I return!  In the meanwhile I just want to wish everyone Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year.  I'll see you when I return in January.  Ciao Bellas!

Hi Bellas,

I couldn't end 2013 without hosting another giveaway!  If you follow me or Sedona Lace on Instagram, you'll know that on Black Friday we finally released the Travel Vortex Brush Collection.  I wanted to make sure and film a video on the background of the collection, how I developed the case and picked the brushes.  And of course, give a bunch of sets away!  Check it out!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another product review!  Lately, I've been trying to curb my makeup purchases because I have so much, but i'm all about tools and skincare since i'm always in need of them.  One thing I'll always repurchase is a makeup remover.  One of my good friends recently became a Mary Kay rep and raved about their top sellling makeup remover, so you know I had to give it a try!

Hi Bellas,

I was going through my memory card and came across some makeup photos that I took of myself.  At first, I thought it was a completely new look that I had forgotten about, but then I realized it was the look from my Alcone Holiday Tutorial.  The difference was a new lip color and wow it totally transformed the look.  Check out this post to see the difference a lip color can make!

Hi Bellas,

I'm back with another FOTD.  I hope you're not tired of vampy lips because i've got another look for you!  I purchased Wet N Wild's Cherry Bomb lipstick because I heard it was a dupe for the MAC Riri Talk that Talk lipstick.  I knew I wanted to wear this color but wanted to do something different with the eyes to complement the look.  Check out my new way to wear vampy lips.

Hi Bellas,

It's time for another giveaway!  This one is near and dear to my heart.  I've mentioned before that I'm on a board of a non-profit organization called Generacion Latina.  We host weekly after innovative after school session/field trips and community service with two high schools here in Atlanta in order to prepare them for the real world after high school.  I'm super lucky because i'm able to combine two passions of mine - Beauty and Community Service.  Today I'll be hosting a giveaway of an amazing goody bag that I gave away at one of my seminars for the non-profit.  Check it out!
